PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
ROY ROGERS CAP GUNS, MADE BY A LOT OF COMPANIES THAT ARE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT
THIS WEBSITE ON OTHER PAGES!

Roy Rogers! The King of the Cowboys! I hope that
his estate considers that as complimentary and is not an actual tradename!
However, it is true for most of us. This man epitomized the glorious Western
Life. He was our hero! We adored just about everything about Leonard Frank Sly
(his real name).Along with his wife, the DARLING Dale Evans and his
sidekick, Pat Brady, we were glued to our TV sets every Saturday to find out if
Roy was going to be successful against the Bad Guys again. Did you notice that
there wasn't any real "killing" on these TV shows??? And there was a definite
difference between Right and Wrong? I think that is what is ruining our current
society. Shows now have to have blood spattered all over the screen in order to
make it "real." The Long Ranger shot the gun out of the Bad Guy's hand. Well,
we all know that is actually impractical, but the message was that law and
order didn't require killing necessarily and fights were with fists, not always
guns.And Roy was a GENTLEMAN!!! And a good singer with his Sons of
the Pioneers.Roy and Dale also were the real thing in their private lives.
Just ask all of the kids that they adopted! You just won't find a better role
model for a hero. At least to me.So, send in photos of Roy Rogers and his horse/s and
anything connected with him and especially the Cap Guns that were dedicated to
him.

Roy Rogers and
Trigger

Here he is, the King of the Cowboys himself, Roy Rogers and
his BEEE-UUUU-TI-FUL Golden Palimino, Trigger.

Here's a couple of fine photos of Trigger and Bullet from the Roy
Rogers Museum just before it closed.Photos by Jim Manning of JM
Toys.I always wondered if the
Roy Rogers flash draw sets were just fantasy sets. Looks like Roy had at least
one real one! Don Raker found this photo of Roy with a Flash Draw set on the
cover of a comic book, so they must have been "real."Photos by Don
Raker.Here's an incredibly
rare Balantyne Roy Rogers Cap Gun with the holster, box and a marketing ad
(encased in protective plastic from Leo Strauss in New York). If you were to
carefully compare the Cap Gun with the drawing of the Cap Gun in the marketing
ad, you would notice some discrepancies, but it's just a drawing. I bet there
aren't very many of these in the whole world. Sets like this, I mean.Photo by Belinda
Quan from Chuck Quinn's VAST collection. Click to see a bigger

Roy Rogers Holster Set

BE SURE
TO CLICK ON THE THUMBNAILS

Here is an
incredible soft glove leather holster set. The Cap Guns pictured are George
Schmidt guns, but my main interest here is the holster set and its gloves. They
are simply magnificent. The studs and conchos are in amazing shape. These
gloves are as heavy as welder's gloves and the heavy metal gold Double R Bar
logo is very nice. This is a set you just don't see every day. However, they
are preserved here for everybody to enjoy. Do you have photos like these of
your favorite Cap Guns or Holsters? Let me know!Many thanks
for these photos to John R. Smith

Here's an
interesting Cap Gun box by the M.A. Henry Company made somewhere around WW
II.Photo by Scott McCollum

Dale Evans
George Schmidt Gun

The "Queen of the West." Dale
Evans was not only our heroine of the Saturday Matinee, but she was the epitome
of generosity. She and Roy adopted quite a few kids and had many charitable
pursuits.Ron Kelley has generously donated these photos.

Here we have a nice pair of
your basic Buzz Henry Cap Guns, but with pink grip inserts and Dale's name on
them. I tell you, just about any Cap Gun with Dale Evan's name on it is going
to be an extremely good investment!!! It seems that there just aren't enough of
her guns to fill the demand. So I see them go up and up in value.Thanks to David
Denton.

Roy Rogers Cap
Pistol

Here is a Roy Rogers Cap Gun by Kilgore from
around 1955. This Cap Gun is about 9" long. The grips also came in
tan-chocolate.Many thanks to "VESS"

Here are a couple of nice "other" photos of this
gun. (and box!)Special thanks to Allan Coyle for these two
photos!

Long Tom Roy Rogers

CLICK ON
THUMBNAILS ABOVE

Well, you
can just assume that ALL Long Toms are expensive and this example is no
different. This one is a Long Tom with Roy Rogers on the grips. This particular
Cap Gun is MINT. The layout for this group of panels is a little different, but
I had to squeeze them in somehow!All photos thanks to Jerry Carney

Long Tom w/ Roy
Rogers SignatureCLICK ON
THUMBNAILS

This is one of those Cap Guns that will set you
back a LONG WAYS when you even think of trying to buy it. The famous Long Tom
with the Roy Rogers signature that is engraved on the side. And the engraving
is so faint that it gives you another reason to faint when you see the
price.

Here, if you pay close attention, you can barely
make out the engraving that was done at the factory. Really...Roy didn't sign
each and every gun. He probably would have, had he known how valuable these
would some day be!

Kilgore Roy Rogers Gun

BE SURE
TO CLICK ON THE THUMBNAILS

Here is a
common Roy Roger repeater by Kilgore from about 1955. As near as I can tell, it
is RR-18 in Backyard Buckaroos and is the same model as above, but with
the dark chocolate grips.Many thanks to Roy Steunenberg!

Trigger had to
have a trailer for his transportation!This is for Trigger & Trigger
Jr.Many

The Roy Rogers
R-90 by Classy

Here is a pretty rare gun that
was made by Classy in around the 1955-1960 era.Though the
same basic gun also came in the lesser version with the metal grips, this one,
as you can clearly see has the dark brown bronze grips. The gun is about 9"
long.When he found out I wanted to use his photos, Mike was even nice
enough to go out and take two more, just to make sure I had a good set! Now
that's participation!

All photos thanks to Michael Sheehan.Be
Sure To Click On The Thumbnails!

Here's a nice set from Classy that has everything but the kitchen
sink! These are the chrome Classy guns and everything here is brand new.
Imagine being a kid and waking up with this set under the tree!Thanks to Scott
McCollum for this entryHere's a set with the same
box and Leslie-Henry Cap Guns. Beautiful holsters!Thanks to David
Denton.

And here's one just
thrown in for Christmas from our friend
Don
Raker. Wonderful holster set to go with the Classy Roy Rogers
Cap Gun.

Roy Rogers
Contest Set by Classy

This is a very rare contest award set that
includes the original award letter signed by Roy Rogers. The guns are 24 carat
gold plated. This holster is excellent. The box is 13 x 13 x 2". The set was
the 3rd place award in the 1957 Baker's Instant Chocolate Contest.Many thanks
to David Denton

octagonal barrel & a pistol grip.These photos thanks to

Classic Limited
Edition Roy Rogers Watch and Lunch Kit Set

We told you we were not only
interested in Cap Guns, but also in Toys in general. And honoring our heroes
(and heroines) in particular!We can think of nothing that would be more satisfying
than to have a whole slew of "regular" toy dealers advertise on our Dealers
Page and in our Graphical Classified Section. But that's another issue.This is a
combination Roy and Dale watch set that was made by the Fossil Watch Company in
1994. It is a limited edition of 15,000 and this one happens to be
#5775.Many thanks to Doug Hamilton for these photos.
